Fariborz Ghadar, director of the Center for Global Business Studies at Penn State's Smeal College of Business, testified before the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee's Subcommittee on the Middle East and South Asia, regarding the implications of U.S. policies on Iran, on Feb. 3. Ghadar cautioned against broad U.S. sanctions against Iran and recommended a more nuanced approach that takes aim at entities of Iran's Revolutionary Guard "while promoting information flows and economic activities with the private sector." This strategy, Ghadar said, will protect the Iranian public while targeting paramilitary interests.
